Do we listen to stories of starving women and children with ears that hear not? Millions of dollars will flow from this country across the Atlantic in the next month in the form of Christmas gifts. We will be given a chance to give something ourselves. Is it asking too much from every student at the University of Kansas that he give one dollar—just ten little dimes—toward the relief of suffering on the continent? Are we, students in American universities, thousands of miles from the terrible scenes of want and suffering, selfish and self-centered? If we are and know it, Mr. Mott has just reason to have fear for our welfare. You can answer that question your self. TIME IS KING "That's all right,but it won't win the game." It was at the game. He was an old grad, away back in the nineties, and he had his wife and baby with him. He followed every move of the game, explaining it all to his companions. At the end of the first half he was discouraged. When the Jayhawker tramped on the Cornhusker, he turned sady to his wife, and said And it didn't. What DOES win it anyway? What will win the next one? TIME! That's all it takes. K. U. has a good team, and a coach that "can't be beat," but we shouldn't expect a perfect machine in a few short months. The team is already a great deal better than it was last year, but next year and the year after will show the results of association and confidence between captain, coach and team. CHURCH AND SCHOOL The Methodists in the state of Illinois have started a campaign to raise money to construct buildings for dormitories at the University of Illinois to cost $500,000. Their plan is to build two dormitories, one for men and one for women, and a social center hall and a church. Nor is this the first thing along this line that in that state. For several years churches of various denominations have been active at this University in work which will be of a direct benefit to the students. It would be a good thing for the University and the churches, too, if some of the churches would help more in this way. There was a communication in the Daily Kansan a few days ago from a student, pleading for dormitories, as a means of fostering school spirit. Dormitories would undoubtedly change the whole atmosphere of the school. Instead of being scattered all over town, the students would all be together upon the Hill. There would be no grand rush every morning up a slippery incline. There would be no long tramp home in the dusk after late classes. Unity of spirit would result. But this would take money, and the legislature has cut down the appropriation. There is one way out. That is the way of Illinois. BUSTING BUBBLES Brightly colored bubbles are radiant to gaze upon as long as they last. But when they burst as they are wont to do, a little spot or pool of water on the floor marks the formerly ostentatious sphere. So evaporate other bubbles of life. They are beautiful to look upon. Gone however, they are like the Roman Alba, just a few stones and other ruins left of a large and prosperous city because of the intrigue and treachery and disloyalty of its inhabitants. This city was an empty bubble without foundation. So in this college life bubbles are blown, only to burst because of the emptiness within. The bluff in class is a bubble which when discovered vanishes quickly. The fluffy ruffles of the community are the same. Beautiful to gaze upon—that's all. Self importance because of college honors is another inflated sphere which evaporates soon after graduation. Bubble blowing along with the building of air castes is all right for a pastime but serves poorly for a life's vocation. ALAS. POOR DEBATERS! A new plan of debating will be used in the Utah triangular debates this year, if the coach of the University of Utah debating team has his way. He wishes to have no-decision discussions. He is of the opinion that debaters are laying too much stress upon the securing of decisions, and too little upon an honest presentation of the facts of the case. The purpose of the Utah debates will be to present a clear explanation of the facts of the case instead of a controversy of wits. There is no doubt that debating has changed its purpose since the good old times of Patrick Henry. The audience, which of course always comes to debates to learn about the question and for no other purpose, would doubtless be the gainer in this new form of debating. But think of the poor debater! The most useful term in his vocabulary, "Honorable Judges," would be eliminated. Think of a debate without the fine, "And, therefore, honorable judges, in the name of all that is fair and good—!" There is a loftier ambition than merely to stand high in the world. It is to stoop down and lift mankind a little higher. There is a nobler character than that of mankind. It is the character which acts as an antidote and preventative of corruption. Fearlessly to speak the words which bear witness to righteousness and truth and purity; patiently to do the deeds which are worthy of hope in your fellow-men; generously to lead a hand to those who are trying to climb upward; faithfully to give your support and your personal help to the efforts which are making you save and save the lives of the ones that what it means to have salt in your character.—Henry Van Dyke.

When Professor C — told me that he wanted me to come to tea some day, and to remind him if he forgot about it, I concluded he did not want me very much, and never proceeded to invite me, but I didn't do that the he bore down upon me one day with the most hurt expression on his face.

He writes to me about once a month and then I go around for a little personal chat. Sure, we are great friends." In the past two years there has been a persistent effort on the part of some of the students to discourage the use of coarse and vulgaryells and songs at our rattles and games. The excessive use of these devices has many who have a sense of moral decency and a respect for womanhood. If I mistake not the comment on these yellls, there will certainly be a reaction against supporting the school which uses them and also a reaction against the sport about which they center. BREAKS I HAVE MADE For sake of united support for football, for sake of financial support if the University, out of respect for womanhood, and in behalf of moral lecency, I enter this protest against the use of curses and vulgar yells. NO.1. WE'RE FOR IT F. J. Primavasi, superintendent of the St. Louis Correctional Institute would add another circle to the already broad and rapidly increasing horizon of the modern university. Mr. Primavasi returned a few days ago from attending the American Prisons Association convention at San Francisco and though he told a reporter for the Kansas City Star that they had an overtime bonus during "this means to be not literally true for he has returned with an idea. And "thoughts are things." This is what he says: "There is nothing much that can be done (toward prison reform) until the control of our prisons and insane asylums is taken out of politics. We now treat our criminals criminally and our insane insanely. There is little inducement or anyone to mass work his life business for political positions are insecure. When chairs of penology and criminology are established in our universities and prison officers put under civil service, there will be real prison reform." communications must be signed as evidence of good faith but patients will not be probabilis communications must be signed as evidence of good For his forty-mile malt— When they caught him his language Editor of the Daily Kansan: question more. P. I. Stevenson I stammered something trying to explain that he had set no definite time, but he was not to be appeased, and hence forthward seemed to consider it as a personal slight that I had not, reminded him that he had invited me to come to tea. I only pulled a woo' out of his course, and the reply was because I had failed in my social duties toward a professor or not. Professors belong to a peculiar species of the race.
